Launcher Troubles

Good day everyone, I hope I'm not asking about a problem that has been solved before, but I've looked around and can't find a solution on my own.

I'm setting up Diaspora on a new system, ran the original installer and both patches, but when I open the launcher the PLAY button will not work. I've tried both the standard Diaspora executable and the Debug version, but it won't open the game. On the error side of things, I have the message "Error Opening Device". I tried the normal instructions to get the fs2_open.log file, but without being able to run the game I'm not sure how else I can obtain it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You should be able to run the FSO executable directly from the file in the install directory. i.e. without using the launcher. It won't have everything setup correctly but it should provide some useful output in the fs2_open.log

I cannot get this to work in Ubuntu 18.04 with either knossos, or wxlauncher from the repository. It does the same thing in both. When the tips box pops up, all input is disable. It works 16.04 in wxlauncher from the repository up to a Virgon mission which just crashes. Gonna try knossos in ubuntu 17.10 next???
